Clerical Officer 2020

I was the same. Just got word there looking for current employer ref but not yet assigned. I was told yesterday when I asked what the hold up was and they were saying it was taking a little longer to process the vetting their end. I'm in Dublin

Hello .. I got assigned DOT today .. any idea about possible location in Dublin? How is this department? Not heard much about it in this forum 😅

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone here is waiting on Clerical Officer - Customs and Revenue for Dublin or have any updates?. I have received no word that this campaign is ending in the new year (is this unusual) . Im Currently post interview and waiting to be called for clearance stage in Batch 8. Does anyone know if all panels are ending in the new year.

Thanks in advance :)

@Moomooland thanks for that info. Fingers crossed. Thats a shame about your counties, where abouts were you in the whole process ?

No problem!! Btw, there are two stages of vetting. One is the standard one and the other is enhanced vetting. HR in DOT should contact you about the enhanced one but it takes 4 to 6 weeks to be processed, mine was finished on the Friday of Week 3. It feels like such a long wait but hang in there! As I said, feel free to dm me if you need anything else at all and I'll be happy to help 😊

Got allocated a position in

Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Sligo Town, Co. Sligo does anyone know from address if this is the summerhill office or the cranmore intreo office

Hi All,

Just being assigned to Legal Aid Board. Was just wondering if anyone else has been placed there what location? There's one local to me, so keeping fingers crossed its there, but I'd say it'll be city centre based. So just looking for a rough gauge on where is being mostly filled. Thank you 😊 location is Dublin

Hi,

I got assigned a position in the Revenue in Dublin in November but haven’t headed anything since. My girlfriend is due in January, I made sure to tell them in the interview and they said it’s fine.

Just wondering how it works with been off for 2 weeks possibly during training?

Thanks

Thank you very much. And congrats :)

Out of curiosity, could you also move from a position like a CO position in the Irish Prison Service (Dublin) or Immigration Controle Officer in Dublin Airport to another Civil service body, if you want to move closer to your home county? Once you meet the above criteria?

5 years? 😕 That's a long time! If you get placed on the open competition can you take up the new role and just leave?

Is everyone placed from this panel that was due to be placed, before it closed? I got a conditional offer in Sept, clearance came through in late Nov, references asked/returned early Dec and nothing since. I hope they haven't forgotten about me. Don't really wanna Email them yet, so soon after the holidays.

Hi Dark J,

I would definitely email them asking them for an update and ask them to confirm if they need anything further from you. its a fair request at this stage.

I got a phonecall in December and was given a start date for late Jan 2022 . Still waiting to hear from HR whether its office or WFH so hopefully will hear this week. like yourself I'm wondering have they forgot. I emailed previously and they said they would be in touch closer to the start date.

I'm not in the Civil Service so take this advice with a pinch of salt. I would just be honest about it. I clearly don't know your circumstances. Although I am thinking about it from the point of view that if you give wrong info and they found out, it would look worse. Not saying you're going to do that. I think once it doesn't prevent you from carrying out the duties, you should be grand.

I hope there will be someone along to provide better advice..

I don't feel sooo alone now. Fingers crossed we'll hear shortly. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
